As you may have heard through the news media, the California Supreme Court reversed a lower court opinion, and allowed custodial parents to move out of town without restriction, as long as it doesn't damage the children.
Previously, California CPs have had to show the court a good reason for the move (job prospects, usually). Now NCPs will have to prove to the court that the move would be specifically harmful to the kids. This is a major shift against us with respect to our burden of proof.
F.R.E.E.[tm] is issuing a press release on this disappointing decision, and I have submitted the following quote:
"In a time when 40% of California children will lay their heads to sleep in a home without a father, in a time when one child in seven has not seen his or her living father in the past year, The California Supreme Court has seen fit to further drive a wedge between California fathers and their children, and we will be looking to the Legislature to correct this injustice to our children."
But don't be surprised if it doesn't make the newspapers... :-(
I have personally been fighting the moveaway issue in Sacramento for several years, and it is the toughest one for politicians to get a grip on. I believe the fight will now intensify, especially in the next session. I intend to be there. Will you?
